Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alabama working with clients experiencing challenges such as PTSD and grief. In addition, my previous work as a Rape Victim Advocate, OB/GYN social worker, and vulnerable families has given me a strength in working with and navigating women's issues. Sometimes, managing emotions and life responsibilities in healthy ways while navigating life challenges and transitions can feel impossible. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore problems affecting their lives and work with them to build skills to improve their life functioning and satisfaction.
I have worked with children, teens, parents and adults in emergency, residential, school, and clinic settings. I take a client-centered approach and draw from a diverse set of treatment modalities by utilizing techniques from CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, motivational-interviewing, mindfulness, EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT.
It is normal to feel anxious about reaching out to a therapist for the first time. Perhaps you're a little intimidated by the idea of therapy or maybe you have negative experiences from when you tried to reach out for support in the past. However, if you choose to explore me as your therapist, I promise to provide a safe space for you.

I have only spoken with Chelsea two times however I feel like she is very understanding of the goals and issue I would like to address. She is also very helpful in terms of outside tools and strategies I can use to calm me down or relax me.
